Delicia Sampero - In the Flow
These works are intentionally devoid of overt symbolism or narratives and serve as reflective focal points, inviting viewers on a mediative journey. The painted traffic signs are assembled into intriguing shapes ,encouraging the viewers to reflect on the delicate tension and connection of relational spaces, dark and light, masculine and feminine, and self and community.
Delicis's artwork draws inspiration from the complex interconnections present in nature, the intricate neural pathways of the brain, the dynamic exchange between humans and cultures, the complexities of the modern world and technology.

About the Figurative Collective
Gary Waldrom, Andy Leleisi'uao, Delicia Sampero, Richard Boyd-Dunlop
"The Figurative Collective is a group of artists grappling with the mystery, poetry and sometimes crisis around what it is to be human? A question which has undoubtedly gained many complexities in our globalised and digitalised modern world. The Figurative Collective could be considered a group of painting activists with mutual respect for each other's work, exploring ways of sharing their raison d'être.
These artists with different perceptions, sensibilities and interpretations have developed distinctive visual languages over many years of their work. Four cultural diverse artists portray the human form and face in ways which are deeply connected , but not confined to their own experience and heritage. Their creations refer to aspects of the human condition rather than expressing personal narratives.
As they report on how they see the world the artists raise questions through their works . Exploring crisis , controversy , and extremes whilst simultaneously exploring beauty, magic, and wonder. The large scale visually captivating creations invite audiences to connect with the artwork on a deeper level prompting introspection and dialogue."
